Bruce,
I'm pleasantly surprised to see that your question elicited so many
replies. Your frame looks exactly like the red '72 GJ I once owned,
except of course the missing pinstripe & name on the top tube and French
531 decal on the seat tube. As expressed elsewhere, mine had Huret
dropouts, not Campy. I remember that the rake on the fork was 2-1/2
inches or so with a 70 or 71 degree head tube angle. All threads were
French standard, including the Normandy hubs.

> Listers: I just purchased a frameset on eBay and after receiving it I was not convinced that it was, in fact, a Grand Jubilee (Jubile) but perhaps a Grand Record. The TT decals were missing or rubbed off and the the tubing and lugs had changed over the years to have changed from Vitus to 531 tubing. This one is obviously 531 and Nervex lugged as seen in the photos. Go to the completed auction before the photos disappear. What is the educated opinion of the Francophiles? Approximate year?
